    Description / Table of Contents: Hydrogele wurden aus methylmethacrylat (MMA) and N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidon (NVP) mit 1,2,2-Trimethylolpropantrimethacrylat (TPTA) als Vernetzungsmittel hergestellt. Die Terplymerisation wurden mittels UV-strahlung (365 nm) initiiert, wobei kleine Mengen an Diethoxycetophenon (DEAP) als Photosensibilisator sowie Triethanolamin(TEA)als Beschleuniger und Verdünner verwendet wurden. Die Hydrogele wurden durch Messung des Wasserrückhaltevermögens, der Sauerstodiffusions- und permitionskoeffizienten, der mechanischen Eigenschaften und der Lichtdurchlässigkeit charakterisiert. Dabei zeigte sich, daß die Hydrogele bis zu 80 Gew.-% Wasser aufnehmen können, wobei mit steigendem Wassergtehalt deren mechanische Festigkeit drastisch sinkt. Der Ssuerstoffdiffusionskoeffizient der gequollenen Hydrogele beträgt 10-6 cm2s-1, der Sauerstoffpermeationskoeffizient 1013 cm2s-1Pa-1, und die Lichtdurchlässigkeit liegt im Bereich von 500 bis 700 nm bei über 90%.
    Notes: Hydrogels are synthesized from methyl methacrylate (MMA) and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) with 1,1,1-trimethylol propane trimethacrylate (TPTA) as a crosslinking agent. It was polymerized under UV radiation (365nm) with a small amount of photosensitizer, diethoxy acetophenone (DEAP), acclerator and diluent, triethanol amine (TEA). The hydrogels were characterized by measuring the water retention, dissolved oxygen diffusivity and permeability, mechanical strength, and light transparency. The hydrogels can retain water up to 80 wt.-% and the mechanical strenght is weakened as the water content is increased in the gel. The dissolved oxygen diffusivity and permeability in the swelling hydrogels are determined to be 10-6 cm2/sec and 1013 cm2s-1 Pa-1, respectively. The light transparency is over 90% in the wave lenght ranging from 500 to 700 nm.

    Notes: We have used the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation package AMBER4 to search the conformation of a peptide predicted as a leucine zipper motif for the human immunodeficiency virus type I integrase protein (HIV IN-LZM). The peptide is composed of 22 amino acid residues and its location is from Val 151 to Leu 172. The searching procedure also includes two known α-helices that served as positive controls - namely, a 22-residue GCN4-p1 (LZM) and a 20-residue poly(L-alanine) (PLA). A 21-residue peptide extracted from a cytochrome C crystal (CCC-t) with determined conformation as a β-turn is also included as a negative control. At the beginning of the search, two starting conformations - namely, the standard right-handed α-helix and the fully stretched conformations - are generated for each peptide. Structures generated as standard α-helix are equilibrated at room temperature for 90 ps while structures generated as a fully stretched one are equilibrated at 600 K for 120 ps. The CCC-t and PLA helices are nearly destroyed from the beginning of equilibration. However, for both the HIV IN-LZM and the GCN4-p1 LZM structures, there is substantial helicity being retained throughout the entire course of equilibration. Although helix propagation profiles calculated indicate that both peptides possess about the same propensity to form an α-helix, the HIV IN-LZM helix appears to be more stable than the GCN4-p1 one as judged by a variety of analyses on both structures generated during the equilibration course. The fact that predicted HIV IN-LZM can exist as an α-helix is also supported by the results of high temperature equilibration run on the fully stretched structures generated. In this run, the RMS deviations between the backbone atoms of the structures with the lowest potential energy (PE) identified within every 2 ps and the structure with the lowest PE searched in the same course of simulation are calculated. For both the HIV IN-LZM and the GCN4-p1 LZM, these rms values decrease with the decrease of PE, which indicates that both structures are closer in conformations as their PEs are moved deeper into the PE well. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: It has been shown that the resistance of certain polyethylene sulfides to thermal degradation can be markedly improved by the addition of small amounts of metal dithiocarbamates, thioureas, or diphenyl acetylene together with a suitable carbodiimide. The extent of degradation, as indicated by the concurrent changes in polymer melt viscosity in the temperature range 220°-250°C, was dramatically reduced, in particular, by a stabilizer comprised of 4% hexamethylenebis(tert-butyl)carbodiimide and 2% diphenylacetylene. At 250°C polyethylene sulfide (Dabco initiated) was stable in the melt viscometer for a period of 8-10 min and the resulting extrudate showed little sign of discoloration. The detailed mechanism of stabilizer action cannot be put forward at this stage because of uncertainty regarding the mode of polymer degradation which could occur by radical or ionic processes.

    Notes: Plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coated (HAC) 50 and 200 μm thick on Ti-6Al-4v cylinders was transcortically implanted in the femora of canines to to evaluate in detail the effect of coating thickness on the pushout shear strength and failure mode examined under scanning electron microscope after the periods of 4, 6, 8, and 12 weeks. The HAC coating exhibited higher shear strength at 50 μm than at 200 μm. Its failure mode was conclusively at or near the HAC-bone interface, and the slight attack of body fluid had not degraded the implant to the extent that failure occurred at the HAC-Ti alloy interface after 12 weeks of observation. For 200 μm-HAC, failure was found at the HAC-bone interface, inside the HAC lamellar splat layer and at the HAC-Ti alloy substrate interface, depending on the period of implantation. It was also deduced that the variation of failure mode of 200 μm-HAC with time could not be accounted for by the attack of body fluid alone; the degradation must be a synergetic adverse result of residual stress in the HAC and the attack of body fluid. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of coating characteristics on the mechanical strengths of the plasma-sprayed HA-coated Ti-6Al-4V implant system both in vitro and in vivo. Two types of HA coatings (HACs) with quite different microstructures, concentrations of impurity-phases, and indices-of-crystallinity were used. In vitro testings were done by measuring the bonding-strength at the Ti-6Al-4V-HAC interface, with HACs that had and had not been immersed in a pH-buffered, serum-added simulated body fluid (SBF). The shear-strength at the HAC-bone interface was investigated in a canine transcortical femoral model after 12 and 24 weeks of implantation. The results showed a bonding degradation of approximately 32% or higher of the original strength after 4 weeks of immersion in SBF, and this predominantly depended on the constructed microstructure of the HACs. After the push-out measurements, it was demonstrated that the HACs with higher bonding-strength in vitro would correspondingly result in significantly higher shear-strength at each implant period in vivo. Nevertheless, there were no substantial histological variations between the two types of HACs evaluated. The most important point elucidated in this study was that, among coating characteristics, the microstructure was the key factor in influencing the mechanical stability of the HACs both in vitro and in vivo. As a consequence, a denser HAC was needed to ensure mechanical stability at both interfaces. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 37, 335-345, 1997.

    Notes: With three kinds of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) prepared, the objectives of this study were (1) to establish the calibration methods for quantitatively measuring the concentration of impurity phases and the degree of crystallinity of the HACs, and (2) to explore the effects of postheat treatments at various temperatures in vacuo on the changes of phases and crystallinity of the HACs. By the internal standard method used, the concentrations of impurity phases, such as α-TCP, β-TCP, and TP, of the assprayed HACs were significantly higher than those measured by the direct intensity-ratio method, and the CaO phase was lower than the direct intensity-ratio method. When the HACs were heat treated in the temperature interval 630-850°C, the concentrations of impurity phases obviously decreased, and the coating crystallinity apparently increased. After annealing at 850°C, an HAC consisting of at least 95% crystallinity with few impurity phases was obtained. As the annealing temperatures in the interval 850-1000°C were applied, however, the HA phase seriously decomposed, resulting in the appearance of a large number (higher than 20 wt%) of impurity phases in the HACs. This work suggests that the optimum heat treatment conditions in vacuo for maximizing crystallinity and minimizing impurity phases of the HACs do not occur at the same temperature. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An intramedullary implant model in the canine femora was developed to evaluate the mechanical and histological responses between cancellous bone and plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings (HACs) on Ti-6A1-4V implants, with 12- and 24-week follow-ups. HACs of different thicknesses were investigated. Results of the mechanical testings revealed that after 24 weeks of implantation, the mean shear strength (2.49 ± 0.12 MPa) of the 50 μm HACs was significantly higher (p 〈 0.05) than that of the 200 μm HACs (1.44 ± 0.19 MPa). However, using backscattered electron images (BEIs) throughout all the implant periods, no substantial histological variations in the extent of new bone apposition between the two HACs were observed. Occasionally, solution-mediated disintegration of the 50 μm HAC was found 24 weeks postimplantation. Histomorphometric studies from the BEIs demonstrated that for both HACs the percentage of the direct HAC-cancellous bone contact was approximately 50% at 12 weeks and 75% at 24 weeks. After the mechanical tests, the 200 μm HACs had fracture sites either inside the coating layers or at the HAC-titanium interfaces, which might explain why the mechanical performance of the 200 μm HACs was inferior to that of the 50 μm HACs even though both HACs had the same histological behaviors. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
